You can also follow us on Musk’s Madhouse X/Twitter (@EnkiResearch), Telegram, BlueSky, or even Facebook if that is your preferred social media quagmire. But be aware that social media algorithms don’t like to show you posts in chronological order. They “upgrade” sensationalist material, and “downgrade” posts that have outside links in order to keep you on their platform, so it’s not a great way to get weather warnings or news (or anything other than indigestion, really).
